Do Your Code Like A User Is Stupid

ui-design-memes, user-experience-memes, frontend-memes, error-handling-memes, user-testing-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Developers spend hours designing "intuitive" interfaces, convinced that no user could possibly misunderstand them. Then reality strikes with the subtlety of a truck carrying lumber sideways. Users will find ways to break your system that you couldn't imagine in your worst fever dream. This is why we have error messages like "Please don't hold your phone upside down while shaking it violently and trying to log in." Murphy's Law of UI: if there's a wrong way to use it, someone will find it... and then file a support ticket.

Div Inception: The Bottomless Pit Of Frontend Development

The nested cardboard boxes perfectly capture the existential dread of writing nested <div> tags in HTML. Just when you think you've closed all your tags, surprise! You're still 17 levels deep in a container hell of your own making. This is what happens when CSS Grid is too scary so you just keep adding <div> wrappers until your layout accidentally works. The "HERE WE GO CODING HTML AGAIN" caption has the same energy as sighing heavily before opening your 8th StackOverflow tab of the morning. Frontend veterans know: we don't write HTML, we apologize to it.

When You Have More Imagination Than Logic

That moment when you're so lost you can't even formulate a proper Google search. First you stare blankly at the screen wondering how to implement something. Then you try to Google it but realize you don't even know what keywords to use. So you're back to square one, still clueless, but now with the added shame of not knowing how to ask for help. The infinite loop of developer despair.
